Community Catalysts and the Local Area Coordination Network come together

We are Community Catalysts

Community Catalysts is a Social Enterprise and Community Interest Company working across the UK to try to make sure that people who need care and support to live their lives can get help in ways, times and places that suit them, with real choice of attractive local options. We are a small group of energetic people who believe passionately in the power of people to effect social change. We work hard to harness the talents and imaginations of people in communities and organisations to provide imaginative solutions to complex social issues.

Headings like ‘social care’, ‘health care’, ‘community’ and ‘housing’ broadly describe the areas in which we work but labels bring their own limitations. With this in mind we try hard not to limit our thinking to the conventional and are always willing and able to look for radically imaginative solutions that cross sectors and join up dots in unexpected ways. We nurture what works, challenge what doesn’t and find practical alternatives.

We believe in the power of partnership and work closely with community groups, local councils, health trusts, CCGs, policy makers and other voluntary and private sector organisations.
